PHOENIX - Former Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce says a recent campaign finance filing isn't an indication that he's again running for public office.

Pearce says he updated documents for an existing committee for a possible legislative campaign but that he has made no decision about running for office.

He says he's enjoying doing a weekly radio show and working with fellow conservatives in Arizona and other states.

Pearce was ousted from the Senate when he lost a November recall election.

Pearce was the sponsor of major Arizona legislation targeting illegal immigration, including the 2010 enforcement law known as SB1070 and the employer sanctions law enacted in 2007.
